Nigeria: NNPC petrol price gap widens as stations charge up to ₦1,492/litre

In Plateau State, NNPC retail outlets sell petrol at ₦1,420 per litre while independent stations charge ₦1,472–₦1,492, reflecting ongoing deregulation and supply-cost disparities. The price differential signals continued subsidy removal and market-based pricing, with potential inflationary and cost-of-living implications. Uncertainty remains over whether the gap will narrow or widen as NNPC adjusts to global crude prices.
